Omake XIII: Winter Solstice (Christmas Special)

Disclaimer: It would be lovely if I got to own RWBY and RT for Christmas...but alas, I don't.

"What are you doing reading fanfic on Christmas? ...what am I doing writing fanfic on Christmas?" ~ ARK

~ Merry Christmas! ~ ARK

Team JNPR and CFVY (plus Illia and Neo) sat at a round bar table. Cheery Winter Solstice music played all around them. People laughed, danced, test their luck in the casino. But Team JNPR and CFVY (plus Illia and Neo) were in their own little world...

Jaune swallowed his shot in one massive gulp. He slammed it down on the table. "I swear to Oum, the paperwork just keeps growing."

"Well, it can't be that bad," said Velvet, looking at the man.

"It is. It was only halfway to the ceiling a few days ago! Now it's touching it!"

"...it's that bad," decided Velvet.

Coco rubbed her boyfriend's back. "Now, now. Weiss can handle it, so can you."

Jaune slammed his head into the table. "That's the problem. She doesn't handle it."

Coco blinked "Huh?"

Penny raised her hand. "I believe Jaune means that Weiss makes her summons do her work for her instead of actively doing it herself."

"The lucky bastard…" muttered Jaune.

"Wow. He must be real drunk," commented Fox.

Nora giggled. "Nah, he's just a lightweight."

Ren himself was chugging away at his alcohol. "I wish I could get drunk that easily."

Neo held up her scroll. What's up with him?

"He's just upset that we traveled to two different dimensions, experienced a dinosaur apocalypse, adopted a gallimimus, got our house destroyed while fostering an Indominus Rex," listed off Nora. She tilted her head. "Oh and he's really upset that I want a tank for our anniversary present."

"I'm working on it," came out Jaune's muffled voice. He held up his hand. "I'm busy at the moment."

"Just let me drink in peace."

"But Rennnnnn, I was about to say we're now officially engaged!"

Ren spewed out his wine. "W-WHAT?!"

Illia ducked from the alchohol. "...that's one way to announce something."

Neo held up her scroll. I thought you were the one who announced your crush while trying to kidnap said crush and kill her family.

Illia's spots turned pink. "T-that means nothing! Everyone's liked Blake at some point!"

"I didn't," said Jaune.

"Everyone thought you were asexual," dismissed Fox.

"I wasn't! What gave them the idea? I liked Weiss!"

"...I'm pretty sure it was an innocent kiddy crush," said Yatsuhashi.

Jaune turned to Nora and Ren. "Come on guys! You were there!"

Ren was still reeling from the surprise engagement and Nora was laughing her butt off.

"You two suck." Jaune sighed. "Where's team RWBY when you need them?"

"Where is Team RWBY?" asked Velvet, a hint of worry sweeping through. "I mean, they just up and disappeared one day."

Don't be worried. They're probably relaxing on a beach somewhere...like last time, wrote out Neo.

Everyone at the table collectively shivered.

"Don't remind me," Coco moaned. "I spent, like, all of my earnings that year trying to find them."

"Same," said Jaune. "I even invented the DNA detection device!"

"H-huh?" Ren was still trying to comprehend what Nora had said. It didn't help that the alcohol was finally getting to him.

Yatsuhashi nodded deeply. "Yes. Even Nora was freaking out."

"Don't remind me! It's my goal to be insane for the rest of my life!"

Velvet tilted her head. "I was worried too. But I didn't run into any problems or anything."

Everyone else collectively gave her jealous looks.

Illia frowned at her fellow faunus. "Velvet...you have stupid amounts of luck," she said bluntly.

"I don't! Really!"

How many times have you won the lottery? asked Neo.

"Uh…" Velvet began counting on her fingers. Then she had to start over because it went over twenty.

...forget I asked.

"O-okay, so I might've been lucky a few times."

Coco grabbed her long-time teammate's arm and dragged her off to the casino. "See ya guys in a bit!"

"H-huh? What are we doing?"

"Testing your luck!"

The eight remaining table buddies shrugged.

"New topic!" exclaimed Nora. "Blake's new book. The Tale of the L-"

"NO!" All seven other occupants yelled.

Minus Neo, who had held up a sign out of nowhere with 'FUCKING HELL NO!' in large letters on it.

Suddenly, a man burst into the bar and whispered to the manager. The manager's face morphed from disbelief to abject horror.

"Ahem! Attention please!" said the manager through a microphone.

The music stopped. Movement and noise died out as the manager's face appeared on every screen.

"Um. We-we would like to be informed whose dinosaur is it that is eating people's cars. That would be appreciated, thank you." The screens returned to normal.

"Oh! That must be Shadowclaw!" Nora merrily walked to the reception desk.

"She's always cheery, huh?" said Fox.

Ren and Jaune looked at each other. They both knew that wasn't the case. Nora may seem cheery, but that didn't mean she really was.

Ren cracked a small smile. At least she was becoming more genuine every day. He suddenly covered his mouth. "Mm! Mmph!" Ren ran to the nearest bathroom.

"Alcohol sure does get to some people," said Illia with a hint of smugness. She showed no effects from drinking two whole bottles of beer.

Lucky you, wrote Neo. She personally hadn't even touched a drop of alcohol, it really wasn't her thing,

"A new topic…" muttered Yatsuhashi. He grinned. "Funniest moments of your life!"

"Weiss and Yang getting together," said Jaune. "That was amazing."

Flashback

"U-uh," stammered Yang, looking at Weiss.

Weiss crossed her arms. "What?"

On the sidelines Team JNPR and R_B_ tried their hardest to control themselves.

Ruby failed and giggled.

Nora was jumping up and down.

Blake sighed and dragged the two off into the donut store near by. Penny followed them.

Jaune and Ren looked at each other. They sat down at a bench and waited.

Yang swallowed. "U-um...so ice and fire goes together...like a lot."

Weiss raised a skeptical eyebrow. "Really."

"Yeah! Like A Song of Ice and Fire and Freezerburn."

"And your point…?" Weiss was smirking. Jaune was sure of it.

"WellIkindoflikeyousopleasebemygirlfriend."

"...oh no, Yang turned into Ruby," deadpanned Weiss.

Yang swallowed. "Uh...I kind of-"

Weiss shut her up by pulling her in and kissing Yang on the mouth.

Nora jumped out of the donut shop's window, wolf-whistling loudly. Blake quickly grabbed her and stuffed her back in the shop.

After Weiss pulled back, Yang burst into flames.

Pedestrians stared.

Oh no, Jaune thought. He quickly pulled out a microphone. "Ahem. Being on fire is totally normal. Please keep on going with your daily lives. ...do not try at home."

"HELL YES!" yelled Yang. "I'm on fire!"

Weiss face-palmed. She almost regretted her decision. Almost.

Ren came back from the bathroom, wiping his mouth with a paper towel. He sat back down.

I want to be there now, wrote Neo.

Everyone else stared. Ren was left clueless as to what was going on.

"That would be a horrible idea," said Fox slowly.

I wouldn't curse! I have more self-control than that!

"Yeah...like Oscar's thousand something birthday party?" asked Jaune.

Penny tilted her head. "Well, technically it was Oscar's twenty-second birthday and Ozpin's 1,238,7-"

"We get it," said Yatsuhashi, sweatdropping.

"Oh and it was also the reopening of Beacon Academy. My statistics say no one cares though."

Flashback

Neo twitched. Illia looked at her sympathetically. "Don't worry, I was also a bad person who reverted sides because forgiveness."

I feel soooo fucking relieved.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" said Oscar through a microphone. He looked around at the ensemble of people. "Today marks the day of reopening of all four Academies."

Suddenly his face shifted. "Oh and it's also my birthday."

"Dammit Oz!"

There was a few seconds of silence.

"Woohoo! Birthday Partyyyyyyy!" exclaimed Nora. She shot a heart missile out of her hammer...which she just happened to have on her.

What. The. Fuck. wrote Neo as the assembly erupted into chaos.

Illia shrugged. "I heard that all huntsmen were crazy in some way."

An apple pie from somewhere smashed into Illia's face. She peeled it off. "I'm pretty sure most things can be traced back to Valkyrie though."

"I'm getting the nostalgia!" exclaimed Nora, who had gotten on stage. Her three teammates were readied behind her. "I'm Queen of the Castle!~I'm Queen of the C-"

She was hit in the face by a flaming turkey.

Team RWBY stood in challenge. Ruby and Yang's capes flying in the wind in synchrony. Which made no sense considering they were inside. Blake and Weiss stood behind the two, arms crossed.

Ruby grinned. "What a coincidence. I'm feeling the nostalgia too."

Nora swallowed a huge chunk from her newly roasted turkey. "Challenge accepted. Go Team JNPR!"

What. The. Fuck. repeated Neo.

Jaune pulled out a gatling gun. Penny stuffed it full of oranges. Ren was tossed a rocket launcher. He quickly got to work getting the melons. Nora laughed maniacally as she charged in with two pies, three swordfishes, seven pumpkins, and twenty-one apples.

"We can't let them out do us, girls!" said Ruby. Crescent Rose turned into a vacuum. It began sucking up any food in the nearby vicinity.

"You've got it sis." Yang levitated off the ground, food items floating around her.

Weiss summoned everything she had with arms. "Summons! Destroy them!"

The summons roared in agreement. They charged.

"..." Blake grabbed everything and anything tuna. She started making shapes out of them. "Go tuna!"

Team CFVY looked on as Team RWBY and JNPR went all out at each other.

"Looks like fun," said Coco. She glanced at her teammates. "Today I'll let you guys mess up my clothing."

"Velvet. You ready?"

Velvet saluted. She opened her box.

"I call that gatling gun," said Coco. She watched as Jaune sent a barrage of oranges at Weiss's summons.

"Is that a...vacuum?" asked Fox.

"It's Ruby's giant scythe," supplied Yatsuhashi.

"Oh...that's just scary."

Velvet handed Coco the gatling gun. She grabbed Crescent Rose and jumped into the fray, "FOR CFVY!"

"She's getting real hyped up about this," said Fox.

Yatsuhashi stabbed into five cantaloupes with his great sword. "YAAAA!"

"...you too."

Coco was loading cocoa beans into the gatling gun. "Cover me, Fox."

Fox grabbed two cups of steaming hot coffee and loaded them into his pistols. "You know what? You've got it."

Oscar tried to fix the situation. "Guys! What are you-" He was interrupted by an apple to the mouth. Then another to his head...and another. Next he was thrown back by a cooked steak and pelted with hot coffee. The poor guy.

Wasn't it supposed to be his birthday party? asked Neo

Illia was still trying to clean up the pie. "I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be the academy opening ceremony."

Oh. I forgot.

Illia narrowly dodged to the side as a tuna cat hit the wall. "Where are they getting this food from anyway?!"

...I don't know. It's like they just appeared out of nowhere.

Illia was pummeled by a watermelon.

Neo looked at her. You okay?

"Aw Oum! What does it look like!" Illia coughed up watermelon seeds.

Not goo- before Neo could finish typing, an oversized swordfish sent her into the wall. Then a cantaloupe exploded onto her.

Neo's eyes glazed over in righteous fury. She pulled the swordfish out of her clothing and threw it to the side. Wind started swirling around her. Neapolitan ice cream were pulled to her in a swirl of colors (A/N: think Avatar form).

"YOU ARE ALL FUCKING DEAD!"

That day went down in history as the 'Epic Food Fight (or what not to do at an important event)'.

"...I'm glad you don't speak all that much," said Ren.

Shut up. NO ONE interrupts my typing,

"Hey guys!" said Coco, returning with Velvet. She looked at them. "What were you doing while we were kicking butt?"

"Reminiscing about the 'Epic Food Fight' among other things," said Fox.

"Ooohh, that was fun."

"How much did you make?" asked Yatsuhashi.

Coco shoved Velvet playfully. "Come on, tell them!"

"...a million lien."

Damn it, wrote Neo finally.

"Have you ever thought about just not working, like at all?" asked Ren.

"Uh…?"

Velvet was luckily saved by a giant Indominus Rex running through the bar and causing chaos.

"Go Shadowclaw!" exclaimed Nora, riding on top.

The dinosaur barked in excitement as it trampled down a row of arcade systems.

Jaune looked at Velvet. "...looks like we'll be paying for repairs."

"Truly, we are very thankful that we just happen to have a million lien on us," said Ren gravely.

Author's Notes: Merry Christmas y'all! Which means traffic isn't going to be that busy. Hopefully...I mean, you're supposed to be spending time with your family. *Ahem* don't look at me… So then I decided, hey, I want to write more about the future! Omake Time!

As always, little bro is the beta.

Omake XIV: Team Rose

Written By: snoogenz

With a jump and a spin Red landed gracefully onto the floor, pointing ahead of her.

"HAHAHAHA! Prepare for awesomeness!"

"And make it double!"

A gust of wind passed and soon Ruby was standing next to Red, back to back.

"To protect our cookies from devastation!"

With a flourish Red was then holding a jar of cookies, cradling it as a mother would her newborn.

"To unite all huntsmen within our nation!"

A resounding crack was heard as Ruby withdrew Crescent Rose from her back, slamming the blade into the ground.

In the blink of an eye Red moved the most beloved cookies to a safe place as she herself wielded her own Crescent Rose, holding the deadly weapon in front of her

"To denounce the evils of Grimm and Salem!"

Following Red's example Ruby pointed her weapon in front of her.

"To extend our reach across all of Remnant!"

"Red!"

"Ruby!"

Declaring their names Red and Ruby activated their semblances, turning into red blurs as rose petals began to litter the floor

"Red and Ruby moving faster than the speed of light!" Red's voice called out

"Please don't surrender, we really want to have a fight!" Ruby almost sounded sad when talking about the idea of surrender.

Instantly the red duo stopped and posed back to back once again, both Crescent Roses in gun form resting on their shoulders, smirks present on both Roses. Then a small explosion was heard then instantly Penny was hovering behind Red and Ruby as she herself struck a pose. With arms stretched out above her and head tilted back Penny was doing a perfect rendition of a Y.

"Salutations! That is correct!".

Silence filled the auditorium as team RWBY, future RWBY, and JNPR looked onto the stage. For a solid three minutes no one spoke, their minds too busy trying to process what they just witnessed. Thankfully (?) Red broke the silence. "Pretty awesome huh? I had this plan in my head for a few days now. Thank you Ruby and Penny for helping me with this."

"No problem! It was fun."

"Ruby is right Red, that was most pleasant to do."

Turning to the audience, Red waited for their reception. Naturally it was Moon who spoke first.

"We are so getting sued for this. Be thankful I'm rich."

"Who cares about being sued! That barely even rhymed! How is Penny floating!? And why was her pose a capital 'Y'?" Thank you Weiss for stating the important parts.

"Oh that's easy Weiss. I'm hanging from my weapons which I stuck to the ceiling. See?" Penny dropped to the ground as two swords descended from the ceiling and returned to her back. "And it want a capital 'Y' Weiss, I was praising the sun!." Penny returned to her praising, showing everyone her perfect control of balance as she didn't move an inch while standing on her toes. Weiss's eye twitched as she was unable to think of a response.

"Now I understand why you were hiding from Red these past few days Belladonna." Blake addressed her older self.

Belladonna nodded "Indeed. There was no way I was gonna play Meowth."

Red, being the mature older self, stuck her tongue at Belladonna. "You're no fun sometimes Belladonna. "So what do you think Yang? Dragon?"

Turning to the blondes Red saw that they were intact busy talking amongst themselves "Yang? Dragon? Some input would be nice here."

With a nod Yang and Dragon stood and began walking to the door. "Sorry Red but as the older sisters we can't be out done you two, so me and Yang-"

"Yang and I!" Weiss and Moon called out on instinct to verbally correct Dragon.

"-are gonna go and think of our own intro. See ya in a few days." Dragon waved goodbye.

"See ya later Ruby! Remember to brush your teeth." Yang called with her own wave.

"Ok then. How about you guys? Red turned to team JNPR

"It uh... it was pretty good."

"Some worthy praise there Jaune." Red chuckled

"I thought it was well done and had a nice original feel to it." Pyrrha added

"Yeah! That was awesome! With the explosion and the super speed! Ren can we do something like that?"

"I think it would take a lot of practice Nora, but it might be possible. And it was very well coordinated. You did a great job."

"Why thank you Ren. Now let's get out here before Glynda finds out we put holes in the stage and ceiling."

"Before I find out what Miss Rose?" Speak of the devil and she shall come. Slowly turning behind her Red found a very angry Glynda Goodwitch. Was she always one hundred feet tall and had the fires of hell burning in her eyes?

"Uh... heh heh heh... mercy?" pleaded Red

Glynda's glare intensified "No."

Omake XV: The Alternate Plan (Non-Canon) (Chapter 9, Volume 5)

Written By: TheSetupMage

"My leader, Salem's agents have found us! They desire audience with you!"

Raven, who had placed her fire dust blade across her knee, picked up the whetstone.

"Which ones again?"

And lowering the whetstone…

"Dr. Arthur Watts and Cinder Fall of Salem's high council and the incumbent Fall Maiden, and her two apprentices, perpetrators of the Fall of Beacon."

clack* the whetstone fell.

"Shit. Well, fuck all-a y'all bitches, you pansy-ass motherfuckers couldn't kill first-years if they were totally disarmed! Vernal, grab on tight. Initiate plan 'The Fuck Outta Dodge'."

"But ma'am! It's not ready yet!"

"I don't care! We have no other option! We move out now!"

And with that, Raven stood with her sword, and with Vernal in tow, ran through a portal to Taiyang.

"Ah, forgot something. Be right back!"

An arm vaguely fumbles out of a black and red mist, before settling on the fallen stone. The last things to be heard from within were-

"I wonder why I've never sharpened my sword before? I mean, of course, it's made of high explos-"-before a figure flew out.

"Damn...you...Raven Branwen..." And the spring maiden was snuffed out.

"Ooh, why do I feel so powerful now?"(because due to the fact that 17 years haven't aged you a bit, my power counts you as young.)

"What? Who's there?"(me, Ozpin, or at least enough of him to be the maiden's mandatory tutorial. Basically, MinMax into strength, defense and charisma in order to build your mostly incestuous harem.)

"But I hate Qrow! I want him dead!"(There's four memorable bachelors in the world, because Ren is taken. Qrow will be in your harem and you will like it.)

Taiyang, who had grown bored of crazy people, poured the two coffees, both laced with Rohypnol because he wanted some sleep dammit, and proceeded to tape the portal shut.

5th Dimension: True...I think its really sweet that Blake still forgave her but still. *thumbs up* humor is the way to go!

Yuhitsu: Sadly the penguin was busy running a company and ordering people around to blast Weiss into the window...

merendinoemilliano: Cool. And damn it, you hit the nail on the head...(on what I will not say) on the other hand, Jaune's background will be explored someday...whenever I can fit it in or add as a short story/omake...
